Playing the numbers game: how many Linux installations and users are out there?
Submitted by srlinuxx on Wed, 08/29/2007 - 18:57.
The last Desktop Linux Survey was interesting, but hardly surprising. But most important is that this was no real statistic: the sample was not representative by any means.
Also, as Distrowatch.com noted, there are inconsistencies if you compare these results with other surveys. For example the web server logs for Distrowatch.com give OpenSuse 5 % of the cake, while the Desktop Linux Survey lifts OpenSuse’s share to 20 %.
Still, these numbers give some opportunities to play with. And that’s something I like.
Fedora
Let’s take Fedora: in all three columns listed at Distrowatch it gets roughly 5 %. Let’s take this as true.
